I think it was the back end of 2000 when they allowed hour long programmes to beo four parts. The December 2000 live edition was in 4 parts (and the fact the break captions were superimposed live over the scene makes it clear that's how it originally went out, and didn't have an extra break added later)
ITV3 have always left pre-2000 hour long episodes of Corrie and Emmerdale in their original three part format, unlike many other channels which add an extra break into pre-2000 shows.
